I keep bringing myself to the threshold where I'm about ready to take that step towards waking up and trying to get through the first day without smoking and perhaps without coffee. Then I manage to argue with myself and come up with 38,000 reasons why I'm not ready, why it's not a good idea, why it's not safe? Even when I know I want to stop, I don't like the habits and patterns I create more stress and unhappiness, pushing myself to be separated continuously. I know that not smoking will open up so much more time for exercise and study recreation but I choose not to allow myself to have that time. I could try to point fingers but it doesn't have anything to do with others so much, often enough I smoke to gain a few minutes to myself. I think sometimes if I don't smoke I'd be smothered. If you have suggestions I'd really like to hear.
Thank you Nasia for the video .Emotions'' are a very interesting subject and I think society tends to discourage emotion as ''scary and ineffective in life'' and smoking is just one form of escape or distraction people use. It is a shame because emotions are our friend and is a strength when we harness them...
I would love to hear more on emotions and quitting. This is a big problem area for me in quitting. Also how do you feel about herbal cigarettes as a method for quitting.
Hi Shannette, thank you for commenting! I will do more videos on this topic :) A method to quit smoking has to take you through the emotional, behavioral, and mental changes you need to go through so you can live life without smoking. For that reason, I don’t see herbal cigarettes as a method to quit smoking because herbal cigarettes can’t help you change how you think about & see smoking. Perhaps it’s a tool to keep your hands busy, but if that’s what you’re looking for it’s best to try something that doesn’t require inhaling things (even if they’re herbs) I explain more about it here: ua-cam.com/video/JrgJXJ-ldUg/v-deo.html hope it helps :)
Maybe try meditating in the morning - a successful meditation will increase your brain's emotional radar - you'll see the anger coming so you can acknowledge what it is rather than just get consumed by it. It basically makes your brain wise up and chill out so it's not tricked into wasting time being angry.
I was smoking a lot. over the last five days, I have cut down each day to one cigarette. I'm signed up for the webinar and I'm excited to build a smoke-free life. thank you for your tips and advice 💖
Hi there,I have just thought that throughout my smoking life of 30+years,I smoke everytime I have any emotion,from happy to sad,to lonely and bored!why would this be?
You are diamond 💎 thank you so much for the information because I was very concerned why I am very worried all the time . After one week I am still waiting to be normal after 16 years of smoking.
I love this video! The host is so adorable and refreshing, she makes you want to do better and quit that ugly smoking habit. I am preparing myself to do this.
Besides all these great tips, this is one of the reasons I fashioned a straw, (just the first very hard days) filled with a paper towel, to emulate the slow breath I would take, and to trick my mind. The practice was seldom, and I had nothing addictive going in me, allowing the nicotine to decrease. It really helped me so much...
yes ha ha ha. A cigarette only lasts a few short minutes anyway. I have noticed that sucking air through fingers (pretend smoke) for a few mins can provide relief.
I’m the same way as the individual who was worried about quitting smoking since he thought that’s cigs were the only way to manage his anger issues. Sadly I can not abruptly quit therefor I’m just reducing to quit so far this strategy has been working perfectly for Me.
@@amberdreama2711 For me it's 100% mental. I like nicotine cravings. Just a burst of energy. Only been a week off them for me. I don't get cravings anymore, just lots of mental symptoms. I actually miss being at work and only getting a smoke every 4 hours or so, because after 2 hours into a shift I'd get a bunch of cravings and it just motivates me and wakes me up. I can go a day without a smoke no problem. Done it tons of times when I use to smoke. But after that 24 hours life becomes bit of a nightmare. Never did go long enough to see the mental withdrawal subside. Hoping I make it this quit and find out how long it takes to feel normal again!
thank you! i am watching lots of your videos while on my second day without cigarettes. For me it is soo much mental addiciton. My dad died on Friday and i am in bad mental state plus other bad staff happened. I cannot smoke anymore because of my income got too small. I wish i could smoke. I honestly don't know how to survive. Because i know that i will start my emotional eating soon. But i have no money for that too lol. I think i should start my dream of hobby i like - doing embroidery
If you can do more videos on emotional side of smoking please. I have quite intense emotions, sometimes they are very intense so I find it hard to replace my craving to smoke with more healthy alternatives.
Hi Jo Jo, thank you for your comment. If you smoke to help you cope with intense emotions, we recommend tuning in to a different, helpful emotion as soon as you notice you’re feeling those intense emotions (sad, angry, stressed, depressed, etc.) An emotion you can tune into is gratitude. We can't feel negative emotions (anger, frustration, stress, depression) and grateful at the same time. 🙂 In this video below, Nasia will show you how to practice gratitude: ua-cam.com/video/mJPIhPq4klM/v-deo.html
My problem is mindless smoking, like mindless eating. Looking at cellphone, watching TV, driving. I will smoke more in 3 hours of watching TV than in the previous 12 hours. I don't know what to replace it with. Chips will kill me just as quick. My dizziness and heart palpitations tell me I better do something pretty soon. 3to4 packs of menthols for 46 years are going to catch up with me pretty soon. I don't want to die but sometimes I think that's the only way that only way I will quit.
You're very welcome! This is something we're currently working on (and looking forward to making available!!!) If you're interested, please email my team at support@cbqmethod.com
I feel like the main thing stopping me from quitting is that I keep making excuses to not do it “the house has to be clean” “I have to exercise first” I feel like the only way to quit is have all my life activities done and to just lay there in misery which isn’t the way to quit I realize and it’s why I never even try to too!
Hi Nita, yes of course! I share my story on the webinars I am hosting on how to quit smoking with the CBQ Method. If you want, you can register for one here: bit.ly/3nLUBMP - after the webinar you'll have a plan to quit with the CBQ that you can apply by yourself or with our team. Hope to see you there :)
Hello, the initial lack of concentration after quitting smoking is because the mental cravings "thoughts about smoking" interrupt your train of thought. What you need to do is learn how to overcome and disregard those craving thoughts. Also, with time, you will notice you're better able to focus as a nonsmoker (as your brain takes in more oxygen and you don't have to interrupt yourself once every hour or so to smoke) You can learn more about withdrawal symptoms in our new video: ua-cam.com/video/XYeoCzUgwJA/v-deo.html
Hi Jane, I'm sorry you're going through this. Keep in mind that both depression and infertility could greatly improve once you quit smoking. I talk more about depression and quitting smoking here cbqmethod.com/depression-after-quitting-smoking/ Let me know if it helps.
@@janereich5170 thanks for clarifying. Please consider that smoking not only can't change this, but it also adds more problems to your life and mental health. You can see how to manage stress here: ua-cam.com/video/mJPIhPq4klM/v-deo.html
ladies and gentlemen if you really want to quit just ask jesus for help I promise you he will get you sober but you must have a relationship with him just pray to him daily mourning and nite 😀👍
How do you stop smoking in the middle of the grief of the loss of a loved one? My grief is fresh and this has been what feels like an insurmountable obstacle in my quit smoking plan.
